    Question about fees

    Why? All the attorney was hired to do is write a letter using the information provided by the client, not litigate a case. Something like to write a letter should have been done as a flat fee. There are unscrupulous attorneys out there.

    Can't pay property tax

    You have not indicated your jurisdiction so all we can do is give you a general answer. The way it works is that when taxes are due on real property but are not paid, interest begins to accrue on the unpaid balance. Most jurisdictions, whether municipal or county, will give you 12 (or more)...

    Catskill build - many missteps - delays

    New York has very specific contract laws for home improvement and home builders. Much of the contract contents are the same for improvements and building. New York state law requires that consumers receive a written contract for home-improvement work that exceeds $500. The contract must...

    Lawyer trying to raise fee at last minute

    My understanding of a contingency agreement for representation is that the attorney's fee is paid by contingency. All expenses such as experts, court reporters, depositions, filing fees, etc., are paid by the client. It's something that personal injury attorneys don't say in their advertising...

    No medication without insurance...

    Well that really depends on the state and what reason the pharmacy/pharmacist has for refusing. In Arizona, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, South Dakota, and Idaho, a pharmacist can refuse to provide certain meds on moral or religious grounds (when the customer is a female or transgender) and does...

    No medication without insurance...

    I walk into a pharmacy with a legal script from a doctor, hand it to the pharmacist and he asks if I have insurance. I say "no", I will pay cash. It doesn't matter what insurance coverage (contract) I have unless I seek reimbursement from my prescription insurance company. So, OP could have...

    UnSigned Prommisory Note

    And at that point, you would be committing perjury. Shame on you. But you would lend credence to the fact that you were paying interest only in the proper amount on the principal amount for 13 years. And don't forget the insurance policy that you took out at the time of the agreement naming...

    No medication without insurance...

    Since what happened is legal and OP feels he wants some satisfaction, I thought I would give him a way to vent. You never know what the Board might do or tell him.

    UnSigned Prommisory Note

    The note, although not signed spells out what the terms of the agreement was. Or do you think that OP's friend just decided to gift OP $900 a month for 13 years. I think OP has a good chance of enforcing a verbal contract based on the facts he has shared. So if I were OP and you were his...

    UnSigned Prommisory Note

    Because he has the note and he has been paid according to the terms for 13 years (interest only). That is not by coincidence or out of the goodness of the borrower's heart.

    UnSigned Prommisory Note

    I wouldn't walk away from $134,000. The note says interest only payments until the borrower sells his house. The $140,000 OP received is interest only. He is still owed the original $134,400.

    UnSigned Prommisory Note

    You were asked: What is the total principal amount to be repaid according to the unsigned note? Your answer: $134,400. His house is pending at $350,000. About 3 times what it was 13 years ago. If the principal amount was $134,400 at 8% over 13 years, he would have paid you about $216,000 if...
